Teacher Professional Development
 

Created after years of research and practice by Anne Swigard, our proprietary teacher training system designed for teachers of English Learners will significantly enhance your English Learner program.  Each workshop is based on Robert Marzano’s Strategies That Work and includes:

  • Relevant cultural information on a broad range of ethnicities
  • Advanced brain research
  • Cooperative learning techniques
  • Second language acquisition research
  • The Multiple Intelligences
  • Bloom’s Taxonomy
  • and much more! 

Time for deep reflection on each strategy learned further makes our training sessions unique and critical to the success of your ELLs.  These workshops make excellent use of your Title III and Title IIA funding.
